Monday Pictures Present: The Five Second Rule.

For the past month or so, I've been involved with a short film group. We call ourselves "Monday Pictures", well, because we meet on Monday evenings to discuss scripts, projects and shooting schedules. So far, we've shot and edited one film, shot, but not edited another one and have shot and almost finished editing a third film. We're also working on a Vidiocy project, which will begin production this week. So, we're actually moving forward and getting things done.

By the way, the people in the group are me, Bob, Stacey, Ryan, Erin and Matt. Occasionally Dave Colan visits us. And I think James is joining us for his first meeting with the group, next Monday.

This short film is the first thing that we made together. The idea behind it was Ryan's. He was discussing short film projects that could be shot in one evening at Bob and Stacey's apartment. By eliminating location shoots and effects and large casts and keeping things small and tight, we could shoot a short film in one evening, whenever we wanted to. This was the idea he presented as an example and we liked it so much that we went ahead and shot it, on the spot.

It's called "The Five Second Rule".



My short film, "Safety First" is done and in the can. We shot it on Memorial Day in about 2 hours. It took about 3 hours to edit it together. Matt is going to add a few small sound effects and tweak the end credits and it'll be ready to post online, too.

It's a small, short, silly idea, but I really like it. I guess you'll have to see it to see what it's about. I'll post it here as soon as it's up.

Anyways, Enjoy "The Five Second Rule". The first of many film projects that we're going to be working on, together.

Cheers,
Mr.B
